AGAIN!?

edit: is this really a new hack or just a recent posting of the accounts from last year?

Some joker. Repost of this: http://pastebin.com/hhU8Q9di

That's what I was thinking... I guess we'll read in the news soon.

Looks like MD5, no salt.

Here's to hoping it's old.

It's fake, PSN twitter account: https://twitter.com/playstation/status/235824711601360898 Summary on IGN: http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/08/15/anonymous-purportedly...

Interesting. Most of these email addresses/host names seem to be swedish...

Also, some of them seem like they wouldn't have ps3s. Like 'uppsala.kloster@telia.com'. "Uppsala kloster" == "Uppsala monastery". Though I guess the monks have to pass the time somehow as well.

"Kotaku points out that the PasteBin list is similar to one from a few months back. The dump contained credentials for people working at Universal Music Group. Add to that the fact that the suspected hacker gets the number of PSN accounts wrong, and you have a troll trying to get a rile out of people." via http://www.zdnet.com/anonymous-says-it-hacked-10m-psn-accoun...

Also, the email address (anon@prvt.org) in the post is dead and bounces with a 550 error.

"my mom didn't get me PSN points for Xmas so I'm gonna give our emails. faggot. anonymous. 1337."

These kids need to go back to school and make something of themselves.

People who work in offensive security would argue that they aren't "kids" or "scriptkiddies," and that what they are doing is helpful.
